Bringing in the mail and newspaper and cleaning after pets is also part of the job.

Some dogs will need a mid-day walk and we prefer the same sitter provide this if possible. You are not required to clean the owner’s home but you are required to clean up after yourself. At the completion of the overnight(s), wash and put clean sheets back on the bed or bring your own. Overnight sitters cannot be accompanied by a pet, child or other individual. You must be comfortable with elderly, sick or caring for multiple pets.
